Whitney Cummings Opens Up About Her Eating Disorder

Comedian Whitney Cummings just released a new memoir called I’m Fine… And Other Lies, and in it she reveals that she struggled with an eating disorder for years.

Currently, the Whitney is executive producing the revival of Roseanne. Before she co-created and cowrote 2 Broke Girls.

Whitney opens up, saying from ages 14 to 18, she only ate rice cakes, apples, and nonfat yogurt: “I became irrationally terrified of fat,” she wrote.

She became so thin she started losing her hair. “It was as if I were looking in a funhouse mirror that makes your hips comically large. I literally could not see myself how others did,” she said.

“The other good news about my overcoming an eating disorder and putting some weight on is that it makes you look about ten years younger,” Cummings wrote. “People keep asking me if I’ve gotten a facelift and I’m like, ‘Nope, just got that extra side of guac.’”
